Romantic ribbons and bows

Once again time has flown by and we have a new challenge for you at In The Pink and our theme this time is...

RIBBONS & BOWS

We are sponsored by Dies to Die For with a very generous prize of a £15 voucher

I was feeling in a romantic mood so it was pretty florals all the way for this design.

Ooooh, and do you see my brand new shaped base die?! It may not quite knock my other favourite shaped base (this one) off the top spot but it does have the advantage of being a little bigger.
And I can still stitch round it!

This is the first outing for this adorable image and it was such a joy to colour, with a tiny bit of sparkle on the butterflies and a scattering of Frantage; I haven't used that for a while so thought I'd have a play!

If you are thinking that the seam binding doesn't look terribly white, then hats off to you super eagle eyed people! I decided it was a touch too bright white so I dabbed almost all the ink off the foam pad I use to apply my Distress Ink and then lightly swiped it over the seam binding and it looked much better!

Hmmmmm, my wedding anniversary is coming up soon but I doubt I will get a ride in an umbrella or a bunch of flowers...nope, probably not even a card, but that's ok, it's how we roll!

Oh beautiful! So, so very gorgeous!And if it makes you feel any better, in the 17 years my husband and I have been together, I can count the amount of presents and/or flowers he's given me on the fingers of one hand. This includes birthdays, Christmas, etc. So I'm not expecting anything for our anniversary in a couple of weeks either, lol. x

Kat, this is a truly beautiful card. I love your gentle colour scheme and wonderful colouring. The image is very cute indeed and is in fact in my 'to colour' pile...! Your card design is also so beautiful and your layout with that beautiful stitching is a real eye catcher.Kat, really an absolutely inspirational card...Sue...xxx(We don't 'do' anniversary cards either...we are totally daft and say that as we love each other everyday of the year we don't need a card on one day to remind ourselves of that)! Soppy or what!! Happy Thursday!

This is beautiful Kat, a brilliant shaped card and the gorgeous "aged" colouring of that adorable stamped image is fabulous. In my opinion, riding around in an umbrella is over-rated...you get wet!! xx

This is so beautiful Kat - adorable image - your colouring is amazing!!!Love the new shaped base card - and your detailing is perfect.Looking forward to a good catch up and a crafty playtime on Thursday.Have a wonderful weekend.Debs xx

Ooh I missed this one! Love the card shape, is that a new Go Create die? Love it. Such a sweet image and your colouring is perfect. How do you stitch so perfectly all those wobbly edges?! Brilliant hun. Utterly gorgeous card. Hugs, Wends x
